Welcome to Noah G's page! Aristotle: Philosopher of Ancient Greece
Aristotle was a highly influential philosopher in Ancient Greece. His philosophies were based off of physics, zoology, politics, and many other numerous topics. One of his zoological philosophies was that he classified animals as having and not having blood. These classifications are known today as vertebrates and invertebrates. Aristotle influenced Byzantine scholars, Islamic theologians, and Western Christian theologians. Unfortunately, only 33 percent of his works have survived since his lifetime in Ancient Greece from 384 B.C.E to 322 B.C.E. Luckily, other philosophers, namely Hephasestion, Meno, Aristoxenus, Dicaearchus, Mnason, Eudemos, Harpalus, Demetrius, Phocis, Theophrastus, and Nicomachus, his best students, have adapted his works; and modern day scientists are still today proving, and even disproving, Aristotle's abundance of influential philosophies. Although he had a lot of competition, Aristotle was the most influential philosopher in Ancient Greece. Link to info:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotle Pic: www.amersol.edu.pe
Planes
My life was an airplane ridewith turns and bumps and twists.Not all had seemed calm.Turbulence through many clouds,I experienced.There weren't attendants,on each leg of that flight.That flight happened to be a red-eye,With dark spots here and there.Sometimes I felt wild and free,In the vast expanse of blue.Other times, I felt trapped,between the pressing clouds.Flying isn't quite too bad,it actually is quite great.When you take off,Have a good flight,Because when you land,I'll be there.Waiting.
cool poem look at mine~primelord oh no the plane's gonna hit me! w8, never mindby the way nice poem :)-Kayla BTW, This was not from my point of view.~Noah what do u meanthe essay or the picture?-Kayla
I like your plane GIF.~Ashley K. Excellent work above. Both 4's. I always wonder what we'd find out if we could ever find some of Aristotle's lost work. Mr. Chester. Where Are We Now? Project
Article Title: The Next Pandemic: Not if, but When Article Link: New York Times Page Summary: H7N9 is a disease that shows us that if we do not take action, we will end up paying the price. H7N9 is a new strain of avian flu, which has been reported in both China and Saudi Arabia. As it is a form of influenza, it has enormous amounts of potential for a horrible outbreak. One reason that we will pay the price is the lethality rates of this disease. When it was first noticed in 2012, 3 people had caught the disease, and two of them died. At the end of 2012, five out of the nineteen contagious had died. As of Thursday, May , 33 cases were reported, 18 of which had died. This new status nearly brought this new disease to the level of Ebola, at 55%. Second, scientists reckon it is similar to SARS. SARS and H7N9 are both coronaviruses, which places them at close levels of status. SARS makes H7N9 seem frightening indeed, because of what SARS did. SARS killed only 800 of its 8000 hosts; it had a percentage of lethality of 10%. If this is any premonition, if H7N9 continues at its current rate, or even climbs higher, if it gains more hosts than SARS, there may be some mass grave diggings. An even scarier thought is the fact that coronaviruses have extremely high mutation levels, making them less susceptible to disease. In fact, this new disease may be very similar to Bubonic Plague, the strain of disease that dominated Europe in medieval times. Bubonic Plague was a zoonosis, as was SARS. A zoonosis is a disease which can spread from animals to humans. Currently, scientists are researching bats on the Arabian Peninsula to determine wether or not bats are the hosts of H7N9. Our only hope is to spread word, and inform the world to avoid falling to a similar fate as medieval Europe. We will surely die unless we take evasive action, suffering as everyone in Europe did.
